Archive for Wines Revisted
2007 Californian Pinot Noir–8 years laterPosted by: | Comments
2007 was a pretty good vintage for Pinot Noir up & down California. Even before any wines were actually released, several of the wine media were hyping the vintage as one of the best ever for Pinot. That was 8 years ago. We did this tasting to see how a few are doing today. Yes, just another opportunity to learn.
2007 Roessler Pinot Noir "Alder Springs Vineyard"–the founder, Roger Roessler, had a real fascination for Pinot Noir (& Chardonnay) & sourced fruit from some pretty interesting vineyards in his search for excellence. Alder Springs, for instance, is made up of rolling hills with many different sun exposures in the northern part of the Mendocino county near Laytonville. It is very remote & quite breathtaking in its scope. Owner Stu Bewley is a vineyard fanatic with all kinds of viticultural & farming techniques/experiments going on there. I also recall that Wells Gutherie at one point was helping Roessler produce the wines, all making for a very intriguing wine project, which insiders have kept an eye on for some years…..that is until Roger sold the project. I am not sure what to make of this 2007 today. It might have been in a dumb stage, as it was really dominated by oak nuances, even in the taste with the alcohol really poking out in the finish. We have 1 bottle left & will look to retaste again in the near future.
2007 Cobb Pinot Noir "Rice Spivak Vineyard"–the Cobb family own the highly revered Coastlands Vineyard. Son, Ross Cobb, has his own label & also made the wines at Hirsch Vineyard, after a stint working at Williams & Selyem. The roughly 6 acre Rice Spivak vineyard is a combination of Dijon clones & the Swan heritage selection, all planted in sandy loam/volcanic ash soils. Wild yeast fermented & the juice spent 17 months in French oak, 30% new. This is a very graceful, classy, suave style of Pinot & is showing really nicely right now, with harmony & wonderful balance.
2007 Brewer Clifton Pinot Noir "Ampelos Vineyard"–here was an opportunity to taste a BC Pinot with some age on it. Because they typically use a lot of stem inclusion, the resulting wines need some bottle age to resolve itself some….& this wine has finally started coming out of its shell. Yes, this is a surprisingly big, flambouyant Pinot, with the minerality definitely there in support, which by the way also helps with the wine's buoyancy as well. Well worth checking out! Ampelos is a hillside vineyard on the eastern side of the Santa Rita Hills. The 2 acre parcel which BC works with is 828, planted in 2004.
2007 Scherrer Pinot Noir "Big Brother"—Fred Scherrer produced his first "Big Brother" Pinot Noir with the 1999 vintage. His next one was the 2006 & here we are with his 3rd. The fruit is mostly Dijon 777 grown near Annapolis out on the true Sonoma Coast. This very cool spot is why there is much structure & hutzpah in the wine. Amazingly, even though this wine is 8 years old, one wouldn't even notice on first taste. This is a gorgeous, delicious, well balanced beauty with a long way still to go. Save your bottles for another day. You will be glad you did.
A Trio of slightly aged Red Burgundy 01-03-15Posted by: | Comments
The pursuit of superb red Burgundy is such a challenge. It really is hard to imagine a more elusive, fickle grape variety than Pinot Noir, even those from its home turf in Burgundy.
In a recent discussion with a wine friend & whose palate I greatly admire, I was amazed at how he diligently spends so much time looking for flaws & imperfections in wine. Well, one would have such a hard time looking for pure perfection in wines, especially in Burgundy.
I, on the other hand, now look whether I enjoyed the wine or not, a little brettanomyces, or a huge dollop of oak or not, especially in Burgundy.
Which brings us to the 2 red Burgundies we recently tasted, which we enjoyed, flaws & all.
2000 Domaine Maume Charmes Chambertin
I don't think the Burgundies of Domaine Maume were or are on too many top 10 lists. There are many possible reasons for that, but the fact is, I tend to enjoy their idiosyncratic, more rustic, old style approach to their Gevrey Chambertin based Pinot Noirs. I was amazed watching their wine ferment in underground cement tanks, unlike those in so many other luxury domaines. The wines have a musky masculinity & a deep, resounding stoniness woven throughout the wine which sets it apart. Maume has 2 Grand Cru parcels–1 in Mazis Chanbertin & the other in Charmes Chambertin. 2000 certainly had its challenges for many producers & their resulting wines, but I don't care about that in this case. I enjoyed this wine. It was like seeing an old friend again. I was saddened to hear that this domaine sold a little while back, which made tasting this wine even more memorable. I am sure what once was, may be only a memory shortly. Change is inevitable at this domaine.
1998 was yet another vintage with its challenges. I remember once hearing a winemaker say "anyone can make a really good wine in great vintages. It's those challenging vintages which really shows the true skill of a master". This wine had wonderful perfume & pedigree…..& definitely Grand Cru in character. There is a lot happening in this bottle & one can understand why Leroy has such a huge reputation for their wines. The biggest challenge for me is the price tag, so I am most thankful for having the opportunity to even try this superstar cuvee.
1989 Emmanuel Rouget Vosne Romanee "Cros Parantoux"
One of the true iconic collectibles from Burgundy today! I have tried in vain to write something logical, coherent about this wine & still express something that is not expressible to me. So….instead, here are some excerpts fromto the rescue–
A trio of "Library" wines 01-15-15Posted by: | Comments
Our first winetasting of 2015! We begin the year with a trio of slightly aged French classics, produced in a style reminiscent of the old days. It is a homage & a remembrance of the way wines used to tasted or aspired to be like……Yes, PRE-fruit bombs, PRE-Robert Parker.
Again, it is a friendly reminder of estate grown wines, where the owners are vested in their land & their wines from the ground to the bottle.
Where, they look for heritage/heirloom vines rather than scientifically propagated material. Where they farm sustainable & therefore have a living vineyard.
Where, the winemaking is the way it used to be, much less scientific & much more about the way their ancestors taught them.
PLUS, because each wine has some bottle age, one can better experience what the vineyard wants to say. Yes, this definitely a different kind of tasting……at least for these times.
Just, another opportunity to learn!
1997 Catherine & Pierre Breton Bourgueil "Les Perrieres"
Their best parcel—1 hecatare, a limestone hilltop of 50+ year old vines, organically & biodynamically farmed. This is Bourgueil, NOT a Bordeaux or Californian wannabee & the Cabernet Franc therefore manifests itself very differently. NO bigness or showmanship. Wildly rustic character with refinement, etherealness & structure throughout. We tend to think wines of an appellation, like Bourgueil, to all be representative of the appellation. While that is a noble thought & while many producers certainly try, it just doesn't end up that way. Bourgueil is located in France's Loire Valley & over the centuries, I am sure it was greatly influenced by the ocean at one time or another, as well, as the powerful Loire river. These 2 factors had to affect the soils. Hence, the sandier soils from the flat parcels would certainly result in a different Bourgueil than those grown on the rockier hillsides & their strong limestone influences. This is a more masculine Bourgueil, with a wildly rustic, intriguing, provocative, dark nuances & lots of structure. The 17 years of bottle age has done wonders in harmonizing the components. AND, it has way more verve & vitality than the 1993, 94, 95 & 96 I have tasted recently.
Located on the Pomerol plateau of Right Bank Bordeaux. Mostly Merlot with a dash of Cabernet Franc, grown in gravel/flint/clay soils (rich in iron), organically & biodynamically farmed. The results—a classic reflection—rich, supple, yet with grace & finesse & a deep, gravelly minerality & structure. This is done in style reminiscent of Bordeaux in the 70's & before.
2002 Domaine de Cherisey Blagny Premier Cru "Genellottes"
The village of Blagny lies between Meursault & Puligny Montrachet, slightly offset & higher in the hills.The higher elevation & the high percentages of marl in the soils create very different wines than those of the lower vineyards. This Premier Cru parcel is only 1/3 of a hectare & was planted in 1934. Domaine de Cherisey is a stalwart of classic wines of intensity, structure & integrity rather than showiness & fashion statements. I am always amazed at how ethereal their Pinot is. It reminded me how pretty, intricate, sheer & haunting a Cotes de Beaune Pinot Noir can be. Wow!
Aged CornasPosted by: | Comments
In January of 1991, I had the good fortune to visit France's northern Rhone for the first time & walked away with a real fascination for the Syrah grape variety, & its iconic home turfs–Hermitage, Cote Rotie & especially Cornas. Cornas is a small appellation, & the best parcels are on the steep, mostly granitic hillsides rising above the town. Cornas is 100% Syrah, very masculine in character, chunky, sultry, wildly rustic & so intriguingly provocative. The 3 finest maestros of this appellation, each of whom I visited, are–Noël Verset (now retired), Auguste Clape (now run by his son Pierre Marie & grandson Olivier) & at a later date, Thierry Allemand.
Inexplicably over the years, Cornas, especially Clape Cornas, has not garnered the prestige & clamour it deserves, which I never could understand. I guess I should be thankful that one can still get some & at prices a fraction of those of the top echelon Syrahs from Chapoutier & Guigal. The Clape Cornas wines are so personal, have such sincerity & soulfulness as these 2 wines (1996 & 2000) clearly reminded me of. In both instances, these wines are really vin de terroir oriented, meaning they showcase the Cornas hillside character, rather than the Syrah grape variety or the opulence of a sun rich vintage. While they both may never get HUGE scores & accolades, I found both wines to be so fascinating, soulful & full of old vine vinosity & the true character of a special piece of earth. (Tasters should not expect BIG, opulent fruit, eventhough both wines are quite masculine & vin garde).
I fell in love with Noël Verset Cornas on first taste. They were so masculine, rugged, hearty & sinfully rustic & sauvage in their youth, yet intricate, nuanced, provocative & UN-heavy. I always thought I was a minority for these wines, until I noticed the skyrocketing, meteoric rise in their prices recently. Although I am sure alot has to do with the scarcity of the wines (since 2006 was his last vintage), but at the same time, I believe there are wine lovers out there who appreciate good old fashion tradition, staunch, passion driven authenticity of a world-class wine & site which really is like no other. With Verset Cornas, I would always get green peppercorn, andouille sausage/raw meat, musk character, which I later discovered must have come from his old vine Sabarottes parcel. (Clape bought some of the parcel, which we tasted & found it to have a similar character). Cornas is a VERY different slant on what Syrah can be, AND Verset was a pillar of what it was traditionally like. I am sad to say that the number of his bottles are dwindling. I am also happy to say tasting this 2000, at this time of its life, is a memory I will cherish forever. Thank you for sharing.
A Taste of Older Bordeaux 01-03-15Posted by: | Comments
We had a wonderful opportunity to sample some Bordeaux wines which had some bottle age recently. As always, we are thankful to all who brought them & shared.
1981 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou
This has been a property, which for me over the years, has been hard to predict what you will get in terms of true quality for the dollar. Being a Second Growth, when they hit the nail on the head, the resulting wine can be unforgettable (1959 & 1961 were like that). However, there are many other years, where the dollars warranted by its Second Growth status seems to be over priced. Still, there is a reason why this property garnered a Second Growth status. One can smell it in the wine, even in this fully matured 1981. Yes, it is very light, approachable AND VERY mature (perhaps pre-maturely aged), but the nose had the pedigree, intricacy & character, albeit a bit washed out & therefore vague. A pretty wine nonetheless.
This wine sure got a lot of hype upon its release & ending up with a 97 point score from 1 publication & 95 from the other. Today, this wine still shows a lot of stuffing, ripe fruit & structure, which has been surprisingly slow to evolve, considering it is now 15 years old. Some would say this is a vin de climat, as it certainly benefited from a generous amount of sunshine & it will have a lot to say once it really opens up again. I just hope that as opulent, lavish & intense the stuffing of this wine is, the terroir & Second Growth qualities are too.
What a huge contrast in comparison to the 2000 Leoville Barton, we tasted just before it. Graphite, pencil lead, camphor, tobacco, cedar–lots of classic Pauillac character AND more masculine then the Leoville. This wine, too, has depth intensity & structure for much longer cellaring. It actually made me appreciate the 2000 Leoville Barton even more.
This was a very eye catching wine, probably because it was much more open & strutting its stuff. The fruit is ripe, dense, classy, provocative with lots of finesse, elegance & class. My wife added the words….absolutely delicious. VERY impressive, to say the least!
This wine brings back so many wonderful memories, as it was one of the first Grand wines I had ever experienced. I was absolutely floored by this wine on first taste. It was immense, incredibly intense, masculine, powerful & grand. This was a monument! & built to last. Black & murky. Although I adored the '70 Lafite's incredible perfume, '70 Palmer's class & the innate grandeur of the '70 Petrus, the 1970 Latour was for me the wine of the vintage in Bordeaux. Furthermore, I have been fortunate to taste it, a surprisingly amount of times over the years since & therefore it really is one of those I have watched evolve through its various stages. I was very apprehensive to try the 1970 today. I had put this wine on a pedestal, so how could any wine live up to such high expectations. Yes….it did. I loved the maturity….still with grandeur, sophistication….a classic……timeless. Thank you,. thank you, thank you. Michael also graciously opened a 1982, which sadly was corked. The wine's wonderful ripeness & amazing depth, however, clearly showed this wine has a VERY long way to go.
Chateau Cos d'Estournel
For Carl's birthday, a bunch of friends showed up, armed with a whole slew of venerable wines from Champagne to solera Montilla to the evening's piece de resistance–a vertical of Chateau Cos d' Estournel.
……1973…1983…2 x 1985….1988…1989….1990….1995….1996….1997….1998….1999…2000.
What a golden opportunity! Thank you all for sharing. The highlights? The second bottle of 1985–much fresher with a solid core & great structure. 1990–really quite closed, but it certainly has all of the right stuff. 1995–again, another wine really quite closed, but one to watch out for. 1996–along with the 1985, probably showed the best on the night. But, who's choosing? The overall experience was really amazing!
A Trio of Sweet Wines 12-31-14Posted by: | Comments
In some parts of the world these would be classified as dessert wines…..in other parts "stickie's"….for me, pure nectar. AND, the amazing thing is that these 3 wines may have started out as sweet, but now because of the considerable bottle age of each, the once apparent sweetness has turned into more of a visceral creaminess/viscosity AND the wine's minerality is thankfully once again clearly visible. Really quite fascinating wines.
1983 JJ Prum Spatlese "Wehlener Sonnenuhr"
Here is the idiosyncratic genius of Manfred Prum & his iconic vineyard in one of his best vintages. (Manfred also produced one of the best Eisweins I have ever had in 1983). Such great purity, filigree & pinpoint balance, all in great harmony, after 32 years of bottle age.
I still vividly remember all of the hoopla created, when this wine was released. At 32 years of age, it is still an adolencent. It still has much more to resolve & therefore a LONG way to go. Save your bottles.
Talk about obscure! This is 45 year old Chenin Blanc from France's Loire Valley! And, unlike Vouvray & its limestone soils, this estate's vineyard has more rock & schist (& some clay & limestone) to its soil composition, which results in a VERY different character, which is plain to see now that the high residual sugar levels have had a chance to resolve itself after 45 years. There are all kinds of smells, layering, nuances & intricacies, beyond just fruit & spice qualities. I suggest you serve such a wine in a big 22 ounce glass, so you can swirl & sniff for a long time so it has a chance to open up. Wines like this don't come around too often. Yes, in a previous blog, I noted that this winery had been controversial at one time on the authenticity of its winemaking claims & ageworthy prowess, but I suggest you smell & taste this wine & judge for yourself.
Aged Rustic RedsPosted by: | Comments
Yes, we have been tasting quite a slew of aged wines lately. Thank you to all who come by to share!
1998 Elio Altare Barolo "Brunate"
Although quite modern in style, I find Elio Altare's Barolo wines are much more elegant & refined than those from other contemporaries such as Paolo Scavino or Domenico Clerico & certainly Angelo Gaja & some tasters (even knowledgeable/experienced ones) may be underwhelmed at first because of Altare's style. This 1998 was quite a stylish, classy, highly refined, majestic red with superb elegance & balance. Having said that, I would also say the pedigree of this bottling was surprisingly muted, even after considerable time of being open. Let it sit in your cellar. I really think with 25 or so more years, this will be a glorious, wonderfully perfumed aristocrat, which tasters will wish they had put away more bottles.
1998 Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf-du-Pape
I remember being wow-ed when the 1998 was released, by its immensity, sun drenched depth & prolific structure & tannins. Yes, it was a monster. It's really nice to see now, however, the breed & stoniness of the La Crau vineyard making its way back to the forefront, both in the nose & the taste & all of the parts are starting to resolve & harmonize. Make no mistake, this is an infant with quite a ways to go, but one can now get a better feel for where it is headed.
There is no doubt that Alvaro Palacios is one of Spain's true game changers in the wine arena. His is a fascinating story, as he left his family's domaine in Rioja to first study abroad, including an eye opening, imagination stirring stint with Christian Mouiex at Chateau Petrus, before founding his own winery in Priorat, Spain. Although his first major acquisition was Finca Dofi in 1990, it really was the later acquisition of L'Ermita, a higly revered, steep, northfacing 4 acre parcel of well drained schist soils, which would position him to shoot for the stars. L'Ermita (planted in 1900 to 1940) is not only one of Spain's most iconic superstar wines, its meteoric rating, accolades & considerable pricing would create, along with Pingus, a whole new niche for wines in his country, similar to what Sassicaia & Angelo Gaja had done in Italy. And, like what Sassicaia has done for Bolgheri & the Tuscan coast, L'Ermita (& Pingus) has inspired a boom of vineyard & winery growth in the Priorat appellation. I must say, however, I think it is too early to make a true qualitative call on this phenomenon & specifically L' Ermita, given that 1993, or so I was told, was the first vintage. My quandry? Although the winemaking is top notch, I wonder if that is what the hoopla is more about. Granted, L'Ermita is mainly old vine Grenache with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon & perhaps Carignane blended in, BUT I don't seem to get the depth of character, vinosity or breed of other red wines in this upper echelon. Since I have such limited experience tasting L'Ermita, having had only the 1995, 1998, 2001 (3 times) & this 1999 (4 times), I guess only time will tell.
A Trio of 2005 ItaliansPosted by: | Comments
The 2005 vintage was considered to produce some very profound wines in Italy. We have tasted some pretty, sundrenched, resoundingly structured trophy end RED wines which are seemingly built for long term aging. We thought it would be fun & enlightening to taste three 2005 Italians–2 Reds….& 1 iconic white….….now 9, (almost 10) years old, just to see where they are in the development curve. Rest assured, I decanted these 5 or 6 hours before the tasting. Just another really good opportunity to learn!
2005 Gravner Ribolla Gialla "Amphora"
an indigenous Italian grape variety made in the old ways (wild yeast in clay amphora & buried in the ground just as the Romans did)…by true iconic winemaker Josko Gravner. This "orange" wine featured wonderful minerality, with all kinds of idiosyncratic, crazy nuances, which just seem to unveil as the wine opened up. Seamless & remarkably UN-heavy though masculine & resoundingly structured in style. It really was an interesting glass of wine.
2005 Corte de Signori Amarone della Valpolicella
70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella & 5% Molinara—dried out on straw mats for 3 months & aged in ovals for 30 months. I am not a huge fan of Amarone, as I find them to really be about ripeness & over ripeness rather than terroir. I could definitely say the same about alot of dessert wines. Yet, after 30 or 40 years of bottle age, I interestingly find that the terroir can once again emerge after the wine has had a chance to resolve itself. I wonder if that also happens with Amarone? Although I have tasted some older Bertani bottlings, I am still not convinced.
2005 Paolo Scavino Barolo "Bric del Fiasc"
one of the showiest, most flambuoyant, upper tier single vineyard Barolo. Definitely ultra-modern & way over the top for me. In my early years, I always thought youthful Gaja Barbaresco was too oaky & over the top too. Then, one time, I experienced a glorious 20 year old 1978 Costa Russi & that completely changed my view. I am wondering if that too can happen with the Paolo Scavino wines?
White Burgundies recently tastedPosted by: | Comments
Boy, it is hard to keep this blog current, with all of the wines we fortunately taste. Our VINO restaurant seems to draw in a wine crazy group of friends, who are so bent on sharing. We are sooooo grateful to say the least. Here are some of the highlights–
2005 Coche Dury Meursault Premier Cru "Perrieres"
2008 Coche Dury Meursault Premier Cru "Perrieres"
As avid wine collectors well know, Coche Dury produces TWO of the most celebrated collectible white wines–the Grand Cru Corton Charlemagne & the Meursault Premier Cru–Perrieres. Over the years, I have heard so many insiders say how Perrieres should be a Grand Cru vineyard & these 2 wines certainly support that thought. I am often a skeptic with such clamour but these 2 wines are majestic, glorious wines of remarkable intensity, power, intellect, grandeur & pedigree. The 2005 is a monster, so virile, masculine & with surreal intensity & immensity. What a real shame it was to drink at a mere 9 years of age. The 2008, on the other hand, has a riveting, mesmerizing, clearer purity/transparency, eventhough it too was mega-intense & well structured. I often scratch my head in wonderment of what could be, when I see adjacent parcels of Yves Boyer Martenot on one side & on the other side a parcel sourced to Maison Latour.
2003 Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru "Valmur"
Talk about having a wine at an ideal time of its life!!!! Pure mineral, with lots of pedigree, precision, refinement & ethereal-ness. Brilliant! Wow! I know some discount the 2003 vintage in France some, but I must say that this wine really showed me otherwise. Furthermore, where Raveneau's Les Clos & Blanchots bottlings seem riper & more showy, I typically find his Valmur to be much more ethereal, as was the case here. I prefer to believe producers of this echelon really can show different perspectives on a vineyard because of vintage growing conditions……rather than me choosing a specific vintage I like. Here is a case in point!
2001 Francois Jobard Meursault Premier Cru "Charmes"
I am & have been an avid fan of the Meursault wines from Francois Jobard. I am finding more & more, that the numbers of believers like me are dwindling. This style of old fashion winemaking is just not en vogue. I am sorry for Francois & his son Antoine, for the undeserved under appreciation, but selfishly, it means more for me & at far better pricing. I guess I am shooting myself in the foot for even writing about this calamity, but I cannot help myself. Every time I am fortunate to have an older bottle, & after 2 1/2 hours of breathing, I am just completely taken by wines like this. The Jobard Charmes & especially his Genevrieres bottling, in my humble opinion, deserve Grand Cru status, just as the Coche Dury Meursault Perrieres does. Charmes seems finer, more delicate & the Genevrieres more stately with more grandeur. I suggest you use a big glass, so you can swirl & swirl to coax out the magnificance. It really is worth it.
Sweet Wines 08-30-14Posted by: | Comments
This was yet another BYOB dinner in our VINO restaurant, where our guests brought in some eye popping wines! We are so lucky to have so many regulars who come to the BYOB dinner with an attitude to share something special & to enjoy with the group. The night's foray of wines, therefore, included a 1993 Tempier Bandol "La Tourtine"; 2001 Ogier Cote Rotie; 1993 Ceretto Barbaresco "Faset"; 1990 Shafer "Hillside Select"; 1997 Joseph Phelps Insignia; 1995 Chateau Calon Segor; 1983 Chateau Lynch Bages; 1996 Chateau Pichon Lalande; 1995 Noel Verset Cornas & 2000 Chave Hermitage, just to name a few red wines, AND 2009 Blanc de Lynch Bages; 2001 Kunstler Riesling Spatlese "Hochheimer Holle" Trocken & Chateau d'Epire Savennieres just to name 3 white wines. Yes, it was quite the night.
To end the evening, 4 bottles of sweet wines were opened & shared.
2001 Gunderloch Riesling Spatlese "Nackenheimer Rothenberg"–The town of Nackenheim is located in Germany's Rheinhessen region, right on the Rhein river. Rothenberg, a steep hillside of red slate soils, is considered the finest site of the town & shares the hillside with other Crus, such as the Pettenthal & Hipping vineyards of the adjacent Niersteiner appellation. I believe Gunderloch owns the biggest parcel & I say, thank goodness for that. Fritz & Agnes Hasselbach have steadily brought their domaine & vineyards to high acclaim through their tireless efforts in the vineyards, winemaking & personal, grass roots marketing. I am always so thrilled to see this really special couple (& now their son/winemaker, Johannes) receive all of the acclaim & accolades for their truly superb wines. I vividly remember, when this wine was released, thinking "oh my goodness, too much extract, too showy & over the top", after all the grapes were harvested somewhere between 95 & 100 degrees Oechsle with a total acidity at around 8 grams per liter. I felt the ripeness took away from the minerality & transparency of the wine. That may have been true then, but having this wine 13 years later was a true revelation. It really was now all about red slate & profound minerality. I also loved how seamless, complete, well textured & especially how long it was on the palate. I thought it was a standout & certainly one of my favorite wines of the night!!!! That is saying alot, when one stops to think about all of the other star studded wines opened during the night.
1983 Chateau Suduiraut–this is an estate with 92 hectares of vineyards located in the Pregnac commune of Sauternes, adjacent to the iconic Chateau d' Yquem. The sandy-gravelly soils & the atumnal mists from the convergence of the Ciron & Garonne rivers help to encouage the growth of botrytis cinerea, a beneficial "noble rot" to produce a standout Sauternes (designated as Premier Cru in the 1855 official classification). While 1983 was a a very well received vintage by the media, I believe this wine should be put away in the cellar for considerable more time, so it has a chance to resolve itself more. It really was a waste to open it.
1983 Chateau Rieussec–This highly revered Premier Cru was purchased by the Domaines Barons de Rothschild (also the owners of Chateau Lafite) in 1984. The 93 hectares, located in the Fargues commune of Sauternes, borders Chateau d"Yquem to the west. Like the Suduiraut listed above, I felt it was a real waste to open & drink this wine at such an early age. It really does need much more time to resolve itself–quite closed, with too many rough edges, bitterness & alcohol poking out.
1994 Gunderloch Beerenauslese Gold Kapsule "Nackenheimer Rothenberg"–I am sure Mike brought this wine, because Fritz & Agnes Hasselbach, owners of Gunderloch, were in attendance. I also thank you, because I was fortunate enough to also be in attendance to enjoy this monumental wine! In speaking with Fritz, they produced TWO BA's in 1994, this being designated as Gold Kapsule, because it was harvested at well over 200 oechsle (3 separate passes through the vineyard), with 10 to 11 grams of total acidity & finished at 8 degrees alcohol. This wine was certainly unctuous, BUT NOT over the top so. The wine's once apparent sweetness has really evolved with the 20 years of bottle age, & there is so much more tactile elements developing rather then pure sweetness. Plus, I love how, because of this evolvement, the stoniness & terroir is once again resurfacing to the forefront. This was truly a magnificent wine. Thank you Mike for sharing!!!!

Bonked On The Head And Can't Think!
Understandably, what we're going to chat about can be a very touchy subject. People don't like to think about unpleasant situations of illness or injury. But these things happen, maybe even to you. Do you travel on the fourlane? Enough said.
What if you've got a bonk on the head and during that incapacity, either temporary or permanent, health care decisions are made for you that perhaps run against what you would had wished for yourself? This is where a durable power of attorney comes in.
Mexico, (at the federal level), and a few, (but not all), states have in recent years provided for laws authorizing what you and I might label a durable power of attorney. The "durable" part is important. In Mexico, "regular" powers of attorney become useless once the person granting the power is incapacitated. Durable powers of attorney are to allow the person designated to make certain decisions specifically authorized by the document. If the durable power of attorney is to act in your behalf in a medical incapacity, your designated person can not go down and clean out your bank account. Medical decision only, if that's the way you draw it up.
Planning ahead would be immensely wise, and here's some food for thought.
Who will you designate to be the person who makes those decisions? Is it a person you trust and who understands your values? Are they local to you? It does not make much sense if your designee is in Alabama, has no passport, and would have to ask directions to get to Mexico.
What kinds of things would you wish be done for you if you were not mentally here enough to decide?
There are many durable power of attorney forms for health care available online that you can download and these can act as a starting point, for your own list. They are helpful in mentioning items you may have not thought about, such as permission to move you back to the States, access to medical files, and many others, such as dealing with medical insurance companies on both sides of the border or even an emergency evacuation.
Consider having a document drafted in both English and Spanish, so it can be read by anyone around here. Having one such document, clearly expressing your preferences, may make the difference in many meaningful ways. And yes, pulling the plug can be spelled out here also.
Orlando Gotay is a California licensed tax attorney (with a Master of Laws in Taxation) admitted to practice before the IRS, the U.S. Tax Court and other taxing agencies. His love of things Mexican has led him to devote part of his practice to the tax matters of U.S. expats in Mexico. He can be reached at email@example.com.

On Thursday, the U.S. Justice Department announced it had launched an investigation in response to allegations that the Orange County District Attorney's Office and the Sheriff's Department systematically used informants to gather information from inmates who had already been charged, in violation of suspects' constitutional rights.
The investigation stems from revelations that, on numerous occasions, jailhouse informants were housed near suspects who were charged and represented by counsel, and thus protected by the Sixth Amendment and the legal precedent established in Massiah v. United States, which bars the government from eliciting information from such suspects.
Concerns have also been raised over the withholding of evidence obtained through the informant program.
"Our investigation will examine the facts and evidence to determine whether the district attorney's office and sheriff's department engaged in a pattern or practice of violating these rights," Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta said in a statement.
The ongoing scandal has already compromised several criminal investigations, resulting in the vacating of multiple convictions, and stalling the penalty phase of the 2011 Seal Beach salon murderer.
Superior Court Judge Thomas Goethals removed the entire OCDA from the case last year, arguing it had a conflict of interest with the OCSD due to misconduct related to the use of an informant.
Last month, the 4th District Court of Appeal upheld this decision, arguing that the OCSD and OCDA violated defendants' constitutional rights through the program.
Both the OCDA and OCSD have emphasized their willingness to cooperate with the ongoing investigations, including one launched by the Orange County grand jury in August, confident they will be cleared of systematic or intentional wrongdoing.
An independent investigation has long been overdue, as these pages reiterated just days ago, so it is gratifying to see the DOJ take up the case. For the sake of the integrity of the Orange County criminal justice system, we hope a clearer picture emerges of what occurred, what can be fixed and who must be held accountable.

Jessica is amazing! When we met her we had the dream of buying a house but needed help to get to a point where we could. She set us up with a lender that could help. It took months working with the lender but Jessica stayed involved the entire time. There were times it was so hard and we were ready to just give up but Jessica was always so encouraging and understanding. Once we were able to move forward Jessica made the buying process easy and smooth. We are so thankful for her and she really made our dreams of owning a home a reality. We would recommend Jessica to anyone and everyone. She cares about her clients and genuinely wants to see their dreams come true.
Katrina Witt – Bakersfield, CA
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Jessica Fuentes. Her work experience and knowledge helped so much through the process of buying our first home. Going into buying our first home we were nervous and didn't know where to begin. Jessica didn't let us down and gave us guidance through each step. She was always dedicated to her work and us. Knowing the market and the way houses went fast she never turned us down when we wanted to go look at a listing. Jessica even showed us houses after hours at night. She was always quick to respond and never let us sitting to wonder if she was going to call or email back. Considering our jobs and school she worked around our schedules and was willing to work with me through email, which can be a pain. Her patience with us was greatly appreciated. I know first time home buyers, including us, can be picky and a hassle to deal with, but her understanding she never let us feel that way. We felt very welcome and comfortable with her. Showings of listings were great. The many questions we had were answered right then and there. There was never an answer given that we did not walk away without understanding. Every detail and question was put into terms we could understand and as a first time home buyer it makes the experience much easier. When it came down to the loan, inspections and signing she was there to help us figure out what was best for us. Her suggestions never failed. In fact her lead to our loan advisor was the best move we made. We started out getting pre-approved with another company that gave us a much higher rate. Since Jessica recommended another advisor for our loan we got the best rate on our house, which in turn led us to a great house payment. Without Jessica our dreams of the perfect house would have never been as easy and less painful if she was not there for us. I will forever recommend her as a realtor and appreciate the dedication of service she provided for us.
Lopez Family – Bakersfield, CA
Exceptional! We had a wonderful experience with you as our Realtor. Keep doing what you are doing. Throughout our time with you, it was clear you knew what you were doing and you were very knowledgeable. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and look forward to working with you again in the future. Your services were amazing! You sold our home in a month's time and got more than the asking price! We wish everyone was as efficient as you.

A red eye can be alarming, but is usually a result of a minor eye condition, such as conjunctivitis or a burst blood vessel. Straining, coughing or injuring your eye can sometimes cause a blood vessel to burst on the eye surface, causing a bright red blotch. This condition doesn't tend to affect your vision and normally gets better within a week. See your GP for advice if your red eye doesn't start to improve after a few days or if the eye feels painful as this may be due to a more serious problem.
It's important to seek immediate medical attention if you have a painful red eye, other symptoms such as reduced vision, sensitivity to light, headaches and nausea or if you have recently injured your eye.

Switzerland, Take 1.2
Considering the response I got to my previous post about Switzerland -- thanks, Scott Sumner and Timothy Lee -- I just want to add a few things to this point about Switzerland, because I believe it's really important that people who read this blog understand what the Swiss central bank's (SNB) currency floor tells us about the strength of the expectational channel in monetary policy.
I did some more research into this, and here's what I found in a May 18 story in the Financial Times:
The SNB has said since September it stands ready to buy as many euros as needed in order to defend the Swiss franc at SFr1.20 against the euro. But it hasn't been clear that it's done anything as yet. Big bids have sat in the system – the EBS platform used by FX traders – at the floor, and those have been assumed to be from the SNB, which usually comes into the market directly. Because people generally believe the SNB will defend the floor, no one has really tried to test it...Woah. Just think about that for a moment. The SNB said in early September, as it solidified its commitment to the currency floor, that "it will no longer tolerate" an overvalued currency and that it will "enforce" its desired exchange rate "with the utmost determination." When all the SNB would have to do is print and sell Swiss franc if it faced a challenge to its currency floor, there's simply no good reason to bet against it. And thus expectations are made. It hasn't had to do anything.
This is not to say that I endorse managed exchange rates in general or in the abstract; but given the fact that Switzerland is a small open economy which has an unusual status as a producer of safe haven assets, I think that this approach probably makes sense.
Prices in Switzerland have gone deflationary, even core CPI, and given that the overnight rates are at the floor and that 10-year Swiss bonds go for a 0.61 yield -- see here -- this is exactly what the SNB should be doing. Their currency is the most overvalued in the world on a purchasing power parity basis, which implies that eventually the Swiss franc will fall in value against other currencies and thus the floor will be made irrelevant and can be scrapped, but until then, conditions in capital markets would have determined the exchange rate of the Swiss franc to the detriment of that country.
Now, in the previous post on this topic I made a comparison between the SNB's exchange rate floor and the long-standing discussion I've had on this blog about setting a path for nominal GDP. I wrote that a bit too quickly, so I want to go back through and explain why that final connection is so important to understanding how the Fed, our central bank here in the United States, does not use appropriately the expectational channel of monetary policy.
I recognize that the feedback loop between central bank action and NGDP is considerably longer than for exchange rates -- when the SNB sells Swiss franc on the foreign exchange market, that immediately pushes down the value of the Swiss franc back where the central bank wants it to be; if the Fed was to commit to an NGDP rule, there is no NGDP market per se -- although Sumner's idea of NGDP futures would go a long way toward that end. So I recognize there could be a less exact maintenance of an NGDP target on a term-to-term basis, although the path targeting, as opposed to rate, will make the small volatility irrelevant because there will be no base drift, but they are comparable because it is eminently in the power of the central bank to print money or to stop printing it. All that is required is credible commitment.
Sometimes this commitment takes a little bit of proving at first, and Nick Rowe over at the "Worthwhile Canadian Initiative" blog memorably described it as central banks having to go Chuck Norris on the doubters. Switzerland has tested and proved Rowe-Norris theory of central bank credibility.
If the Fed was to stay, we are going to buy Treasury bonds, MBS, other currencies, whatever we can get our hands on, until the annualized quarterly change in NGDP hit 5 percent -- it's currently at 3.5 percent and falling -- would, after long, anyone bet against them? What the Swiss experiment tells us is a conclusive no; that is a resounding victory for expectations-based monetary policy.

January, 2012
A Dream Deferred
Crazy events have come a knocking in 2012.
Unexpectedly warm weather has me walking out to the barn in flip-flops in mid January.
And just as unexpected as 60 degree days in January, I find that my small publisher and I have parted ways-which will defer the publication of my novel, Momma Don't Own a Machine Gun. Of course, I'm sad. I'd scouted a location for my launch party in Rockaway Beach (the setting of my novel). I had several conferences and school visits lined up. A local paper was waiting to publish an excerpt. And scores of my former students, who spent numerous lunch periods reading rough drafts, were waiting to hold a copy of the book in their hands.
However, just like the unexpectedly warm weather has brought unexpected benefits (I'm still riding my horses through the woods in January-without a jacket I might add!), I choose to believe that this unexpected development may prove to be beneficial as well. I am going to carefully pursue finding an agent, which may someday lead to signing with a publishing house that can help me market my book to a wider audience.
So instead of drying up like a raisin in the sun, I hope this dream deferred will explode-
onto the national lit scene some day in the near future. This is one dream that is too dear to me to die.

Ive got it back from him to diagnose but we've got some issues. When the system menu tries to load we get a "SetUID Failed". Obviously the system menu is corrupt. I've got the wad here ready to go and want to install it with wad manager. However, It appears that my wiimotes decide to not sync up once I have launched Wad Manager from HBC. I've tried using an Autoboot Wad Manager ISO, and even using the Twilight Hack to load the app, but I lose wiimote syncing every time its launched. And of course, with my luck, the GC controller isnt supported. Any ideas? Is there a way I can do this better?

Christopher Nolan Selects Canadian Film Center For $100,000 Donation
The "Inception" director talked to Vancouver filmmaker Ian Holliday as part of a Canadian video short competition.
TORONTO -- Hollywood director Christopher Nolan on Tuesday morning got on the phone with Vancouver student and filmmaker Ian Holliday before selecting Norman Jewison's Canadian Film Center in Toronto to receive a $100,000 charitable donation.
The talk followed Holliday creating a short film, inspired by Nolan's work, that beat out around 10,000 entries to win WIND Mobile's Best Conversation Ever competition that offered Canadians the chance to speak to anyone in the world.
"He (Nolan) gave us a lot of insight into technique & writing. Also told us to enjoy the whole process and have fun with it," Holliday tweeted after the phone conversation.
"I am honoured that Ian chose to have a conversation with me," Nolan, who is currently shooting The Dark Knight Rises, said in a statement.
"I wish Ian the best of luck heading into this industry and hope our conversation provided him with some useful information to make breaking through easier," he added.

John McCain, the anti-pork maverick, is back.
Here's last week's Wall Street Journal profile for proof. The writer doesn't mince words:
If you thought that the senior senator from Arizona would ride off into the political sunset last November, inconsolable after losing his bid for the presidency, think again. He's over it. And he's as energized and spry as ever I've known him.
McCain's brand is about fighting the excesses of the political process and the corrupting forces that he believes weaken our country. His brand is characterized by Forward Motion: a potent, but elusive, force that attracts people to a person or a product. He is a fighter.
In some ways, his presidential campaign can be seen as a failed attempt at a brand extension that never made much sense in the first place.
After all, could a "maverick" ever really get as much done as president as he could as Senator?
For those of you who think this question is ridiculous, just compare John McCain's Twitter account to the White House's. Something important is happening.
Let's call it asymmetrical "webfare" -- where the smaller, focused, one-issue actor can run circles around the bigger player on the web.
That's right. The formerly technology-averse McCain has 1.1 million followers on Twitter --almost 300,000 more than the White House.
What's happening here?
It wasn't too long ago -- during the campaign -- that everyone, myself included, was talking about the incredible and historically unprecedented communication advantage Barack Obama and his internet-savvy team would have once he got to the White House, what with that impressive e-mail list, etc.
What happened?
Basically, I think the answer is this: new media can provide the small and the unbureaucratic with outsized marketing advantages, but this advantage doesn't translate to the established and already plugged-in or the top-heavy and protocol-centered.
In other words, the institutionality of the White House has killed the Obama new media advantage. Tradition, a pre-existing communications apparatus and the sheer scope of running a presidency is getting in the way.
Also, where the Internet and social networking is great for generating support for single-issue, single goal agendas with a definite end date (i.e., getting voter's out for a certain candidate on election day or defeating a particular piece of pork), it isn't nearly so good when there is no definite end date or such a huge slate of issues and responsibilities that nothing stays in the crosshairs for long.
It also doesn't help when you've got the DNC making clunky Web videos for your legislative goals (It's hard to imagine something less effective than the DNC spot for health care on the Obama Web page)
That is why the Barack Obama new media campaign has not become the new media White House.
But for a permanent outsider like John McCain -- who doesn't need to worry too much about dotting every rhetorical "i" and crossing every diplomatic "t" -- Twitter and whatever other new media comes along will become a major tool in promoting his brand.
It is, as the Senator said, "a phenomenal way of communicating." Especially for a brand that is true to itself and knows the essentials of real marketing like McCain clearly does.
And remember, business and the business of politics is always easier when you keep marketing and branding in mind.

We had heard great things about this museum and ended up staying three hours. I didn't bring my driver's license and had to have it for the Boneyard tour. We spent the time touring some of the buildings with several docents in each one. They shared their experiences flying and the stories about different planes. A person would have to make several visits to get the total tour of everything.
300+ airplanes sounds like it might get redundant but didn't with all of the excellent docents there to share the stories.
WWII bomber
This 93 year old pilot of the B17 of the 390th bomber squadron spent some time with us sharing his experiences in WWII. His crew got shot down over Germany while he was in the hospital with food poisoning. They all survived. The day he was sick 170 planes left for Berlin and 79 did not return. He is quite a character that lives in Green Valley and volunteers once a week.
Roasting up some green chili to put in the freezer so we don't have to look for places that make burgers with green chili. Looks like there will be some in the eggs in the morning. Hurray!

Necromancy Never Pays has some fine words for Among the Lost.
January 10th, 2017
Here's a review out today from The Bookworm. "Lyrical… and almost spellbinding… I enjoyed it because it wasn't what I expected." I'll take that! Thank you, Bookworm!
May 29th, 2014
I was going to title this post "Yahoo!" but that might have been misinterpreted. So much of our language has been commercially appropriated. Eat more kale, says I. Anyhow… I am pleased and proud and tickled and relieved to announce that the second volume of my poetic trilogy, which revisits Dante's Il Purgatorio in much the same way that To Join the Lost revisited L'Inferno, has been accepted for publication by Fomite Press, a publishing house after my own heart. Visit their site and you'll see what I mean. The "relieved" is because I took some risks with this one, and they seem to have paid off. Both of the editors who have read it so far have liked it enough to want to print it. Projected publication date is some time in the first half of 2015. So… if you haven't bought a copy of To Join the Lost yet, now would be a good time to do so, so that you can be all read up and prepared when Goldfish Rising (or whatever we decide to call it) hits the streets! You can get your very own copy of TJTL here; if you ask, I'll autograph it for you.
March 31st, 2014
So… a little less than a week ago I finished my revisions to Goldfish Rising and sent the mansucript off to the publisher of the first volume of the series, To Join the Lost. (Which, if you haven't bought it, you should, in preparation for Goldfish Rising. Not from Amazon. From this site, or from this one.) I am old enough to remember when that would have meant packing a neat stack of pages into a special box, wrapping it with bubble wrap and butcher's paper, addressing it in permanent marker, and taking it to the post office for the ceremony of buying stamps and handing it over to the clerk and watching it disappear into the mysterious rooms in the back of the building or (with some detriment to the sense of occasion) get tossed into a big bin. Now it was just a matter of clicking on a "send" button. I am no luddite, but that is definitely less satisfying. I clicked the button, stared at the screen, and let the inevitable feelings of emptiness and "what do I do now?" sink in.
What I do now, in the evenings at least, is not what I intend to be doing for much longer. Someday in the not too distant future, the publisher I like to think of as "my" publisher will respond to my manuscript, I hope and expect with acceptance and, if so, also with a list of possibly as many as several hundred comments, questions, and recommendations for change, which will keep my evenings happily occupied for weeks or even months. Right now, however, I'm at loose ends. Used to be, for the past several years, most evenings after work would consist of making dinner, eating dinner, washing up after dinner, an hour or so of brisk walking, and then working on the book. Take the book out of the equation, add in weather that is not very conducive to walking outdoors, and you get some long hours to fill between dinner and bedtime. So, being a good American, I watch TV.
I want to tell you about two shows I saw last night. Channel surfing, I happened across the series Nature, and enjoyed an hour-long episode about recent research into the social life and behavioral characteristics of plants. Anybody remember that movie Steve Wonder did the film score for back in 1979, The Secret Life of Plants? It was about plants' responsiveness to stimuli and was generally regarded at the time as highly woo-woo and far out there. Well, apparently not so much. Plants engage in highly specific forms of communication among themselves and with other classes of being, engage in foraging and aggressive behavior, exhibit aspects of self awareness, create social networks for mutual defense and assistance, and even, it appears, nurture their young in some cases. What I particularly liked about the show was the careful description of the experimental and observational bases for the scientsts' conclusions. We got images of scientists washing the dirt off seedlings' roots and looking at pictures of rootlets in action and holding geiger counters to baby douglas firs. Not only did we get to hear what the scientists thought they were learning, but what led them to think so.
After that I watched Cosmos, the remake of an old Carl Sagan miniseries. Very flashy visuals, lots of special effects, and constant reminders to the audience of how "incredible!" it all is. It was very unsatisfying. I am sure that Neil deGrasse Tyson, the genial and soft-spoken physicist who hosts the extravaganza, did not intend it this way, but the only real compelling element of the series is his evocation of his own personal relationship with Sagan, who was something of a mentor to Tyson and started him on his scientific career. Oh, and Tyson's occasional slaps at fundamentalist religious dogma, such as that the universe is 7000 years old, are amusing if disheartening when one realizes that in America in 2014 this is rather daring. Other than that, it is all "gee whiz! look at this!" and incoherence.
The real difference between Cosmos and the Nature program, I decided, is that Nature told us as much about the process of arriving at a new perception, as it did about the new perception itself. Cosmos presents us with a jumbled bunch of Revealed Truths. At the end, I found myself thinking about what I had seen on Nature, and finding my worldview subverted and transformed by it. Plants and the forest are not what I had thought they were, but they are much more like what I had dreamed and suspected. I have not thought much about what Cosmos presented to me, at least not substantively, because Cosmos did not give me much substance to work with. Again, I am sure Tyson did not intend it this way, but it is the difference between science reporting and scientism; between new perceptions of the world, on the one hand, and something that can take the place formerly occupied by Holy Writ, on the other.
Unsurpisingly, Nature is brought to you by PBS, and Cosmos by Fox and the Koch brothers. The one show teaches us something about science, how it works and what it's like to do it and what kind of humble but startling understandings it leads us to. The other teaches us a new wowie zowie mythology suitable for use by workers and consumers in a technologically sophisticated oligarchy.

This might have been a dream, or perhaps a nightmare, except that it was a waking vision and it felt oh so tranquil. It seems appropriate to the season when we are saying good-bye to an old year and all the years that preceded it, and are on the cusp of the new. I am not entirely happy with the way that my blogging program has inserted a little extra space between each line, but I'm not unhappy with it, either. The extra space stretches things out and makes the poem have even more of a lazy, detached, languorous feeling.
I remain moored in the same place, but
every year the shore recedes further and
the big water deeper and wider all
around me. Used to be, I'd watch
the little pale fish: first their shadows
dotting and running the rippled sand,
darker green on the golden green, then
themselves halting and in unison
bolting like something sprayed from a
bottle, sometimes so fast disappearing
until my eye caught their shadows again.
That was when it was inches deep.
After awhile it was not fish but people
occupied my view, at first a shifting
few on their dry yellow slope: a couple
families, older ones mostly sprawling on
towels colorful as macaws, ones older
than that dazed on folding chairs, kids
helter skelter, half a dozen or so, digging
with plastic implements they'd leave behind
as if to mark where what they'd made
had been. I got to know a few. A fat
boy with a blue bucket. A college girl
lying on her stomach, looking both ways
like a kid crossing a street before she
reached behind and bared her breasts
to the sand while her boyfriend slept.
An old man and an old woman passing
a book back and forth, pointing at pages.
Of what they all said, as fewer and fewer
words could reach me, I understood
less and less, until it was only children's
ejaculations and their parents' (?)
cautionary howls, dimming gradually.
By that time they were numerous dots
on the beach, unevenly clotted as the
little fish had been; as not with the fish,
I could see what might have made
their patterns form. Shade trees. A tent
emitting loud music attractive to some.
Metal boxes in which to light fires.
Proximity of others like or unlike.
the time of day – the changing angle
at which the sun's spears strike beneath
the mildly heaving surface into a blue
in which, at last, striations of light
converge but are lost before they meet –
is all I see.

I am thrilled to announce that To Join the Lost now is available at Shakespeare and Company, the wonderful English-language bookstore in Paris. Yes, that Paris. They accepted a few copies on consignment when I was there last week. It was a rainy afternoon. I sat outside under the awning for about forty-five minutes afterwards, waiting for the drizzle to subside and basking in the thrill of having my book on those bookshelves. There also was a pretty good view of a chunk of Notre Dame.
Shakespeare and Company is a place steeped in literary history. Well, sort of. A bookstore by that name opened in 1919 on the Left Bank. Through the 1920s, expatriate American and British literati hung out there: Ernest Hemingway, Ford Madox Ford, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein. Its owner, Sylvia Beach, published Joyce's Ulysses. The original store closed in 1940, during the German occupation. It never reopened, but a second store was opened in 1951 (the year before I was born) by George Whitman and it bears the same name; its current owner, Sylvia Beach Whitman, was named for the original store's founder, and she has worked hard to maintain the same spirit and commitment to writing and writers that made the first store legendary.
I didn't really expect my book to find a place there, and I am thrilled that it did. But now I find myself in a bit of a quandary. It is there on consignment. That means, if it doesn't sell out in the next six months (unlikely as that may seem) I need to retrieve the copies. I don't think I will be able to go back there so soon, although I dearly would love to do so. There are items on the menu of Au Bascou that I haven't tried yet. I need a contact in Paris who can handle that for me (the book, not the restaurant) next April, if necessary. Volunteers?
July 12th, 2013
Years ago I had a friendly acquaintance named Jane who gave massages in her home, and one day I took her up on it, and had one of Those Experiences. No, cynical Burlingtonites, so recently sated on news stories of happy ending massage parlors, not one of those experiences. Jane has long ago passed out of my life, but recently I made a new friend who worked for some time as a massage therapist, so the subject has been on my mind. I have no idea what it is like to be pulled into the white light of orgasm by some oriental sex slave, an experience to be had at certain "health spas" around here up until a few weeks ago for around eighty dollars, according to the news. I don't remember what I paid Jane for giving me something other than an orgasm, but it wasn't quite that much. It was worth writing a poem about.
The last thing I felt was warmth in the middle
of my chest and a spot of it on the crown
of my head, your touch, as if your arms
ran a conduit plugging those places together;
then that was gone; my eyes were closed;
I floated in a black place. Somewhere a bone
flute knitted high and low seamless as a mitten.
I floated in my body bag, waiting for something
to return. Nothing returned. Then, as I floated,
a click from the other room, a little boy's
blocks clacked, and here a puff of breeze
on my bare chest seconded this call. So my
eyelids lightened, filled with the possibility
of motion as slowly as canal locks fill with water;
opened; and there was this glaring white blank
I recognized after a while as your ceiling and not
the eye of god because if it had been god's eye
the thoughts that kept tugging at my attention –
of the flute, of you and your husband and child,
of my wife and children, of the streets between –
would have pulled me away; but there remained
your ceiling in awesome steadfast finality.
Then you peeked in the door, quietly asking
if I was alright, and I knew it had become time,
the muscles in my limbs were mine again,
to move, pull on my shirt, and button it.
April 28th, 2013
I solemnly lowered the zipper from her neck
to just below her breasts. She lay there quietly,
her eyes intent on my face, her lower lip
(with that upturned crescent of scar, a pale
moon, just beneath it, I found so endearing)
gently sucked between her teeth, so I
ventured to lower it to her navel, slowly,
receiving neither protest nor approval.
She could have shrugged her arms out of
the jumpsuit's sleeves just then, but she did not:
she lay there quietly, her eyes intent on my face,
her lower lip (with that upturned crescent
of scar, a pale moon, just beneath it,
I found so endearing) gently sucked
between her teeth, so I slipped my right hand
under the blue fabric that felt thick and warm,
under her breast, which one didn't matter,
she lay quietly, intent, her lower lip
released, neither protesting nor welcoming.
I slid my hand up the flaccid mound to its
hard tip that I knew from other times I'd
peeled the fabric back was chocolate brown,
and rested there, it in my palm, her lower
lip once more between her teeth, her eyes
intent but inward as if having taken in
my face now she took it all the way in.
My hand rode the velvet of her steadily
breathing up and down, then down and
down the ribs rising and falling, past
flatness and rested over the well of her
navel that thrilled my palm as her nipple had.
Still she lay still. A wildness had entered
her face, not resisting nor urging, so I
followed the slope of her belly down
to where the down thickened to a
scratchy thicket and the band of her
underpants held and pressed my fingers
the way her hand had held and pressed them
on her cheek just eternities ago, and under
that was skin folded and wrinkled as I
could not imagine, moist and warm as her
tongue. Just then her mother rattled pots
downstairs in the kitchen and I withdrew
my fingers slick with lovely musk, and ever
after, her zipper carefully, soundlessly drawn,
emptiness had new dimensions and layers.
April 4th, 2013
I forgot to keep my eyes from closing
when I slid inside you. How the rose sings
all around, around me, many-petaled.
Where are you? In darkness whom I'm losing.

Dear Shareholders,
Completing its 25th years in operation, Ulusoy Un is managed with the experience, know-how and trust which began with the foundation of Ulusoy Gıda in 1969 and accumulated by the past of all our colleagues who joined this family in their past in this industry. These long years have added significant values to us. First and foremost, we learned the importance of our business, food for people and to bear the responsibility of this above anything else. As the employees and managers of Ulusoy Gıda Group, our most important principle is not to produce and sell any food that we would not consume ourselves and we have adopted this as the essential principle for being a reliable food supplier.
With employees open to innovation, working with a team spirit and creating added value and with management that would not compromise from stability, quality and trust principles, Ulusoy Un started growing rapidly. With such an approach 180 tons per day capacity in the beginning, reached 900 tons per day today. As a reward for this work and our clients, Ulusoy Un started taking a place in top 1000 Large Industrial companies list of Istanbul Chamber of Industry after 1996 and managed to take 472nd place among top 500 producers of Turkey and 3rd place in our industry in 2015. Eventually, Ulusoy Un became the first company of its sector and Samsun City to trade its shares on Istanbul Stock Exchange in November 2014. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed this long-time journey which made us proud.
In the first nine months of 2015, our company's sales revenue was in parallel to the targeted figures. The real operating profit was 27.0 million Turkish Liras on the same period of the previous year and the company succeeded to increase it up to 29.3 million Turkish Liras. We survived a period when exchange rates fluctuated due to the economic outlook in our country and global economic issues and when USA Dollar was the appreciated exchange rate in comparison to other currencies. We are closely monitoring the course of events and we are trying to minimize the impacts of this uncertainty on our company, especially by limiting foreign exchange position risks.
Our goal is to carry the operation of our company to global level without compromising from our values, principles and goals with the strength stemming from team work with experienced colleagues. In line with these goals, as Ulusoy Un family we will pull out all the stops in order to achieve 2015 year-end goals. I thank all partners, employees, clients and suppliers who contributed to the success of our company and who are or will be a part of Ulusoy Un family.
Günhan Ulusoy - Chairman of the Board

The Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA), is an international, non-profit, educational organization designed as a hands-on, learn-by-doing model to research and re-create European life prior to 1600.
At our events, members strive to recapture the ambiance of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This requires research into such topics as clothing, weaponry, armor, food, music, and innumerable other arts and crafts. We then attempt to practice and teach what we have learned as authentically as possible, by constructing reproductions of medieval artifacts, practicing the arts and crafts we have researched, learning to fight with a sword and shield, and so on.
The SCA began with a small backyard tournament in Berkeley in 1966. It was incorporated in California in 1968 and has grown steadily to a membership of approximately 30,000 paid members, with an estimated figure of perhaps double that number who participate without formal membership. Members can be found in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East and Far East, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
You can find out more about the Society for Creative Anachronism on our webpage, www.sca.org.

Since painting my first Wild in Art sculpture, a dragon for GoGoDragons! here in Norwich last summer; I have rediscovered the joys of painting and actually putting paint to canvas. All the more fun being three dimensional & animal shaped! Over the past few months I have submitted ideas for a few more trails. I was delighted when my design was chosen for Paignton zoo's Great Big Rhinos project. My rhino was completed back in December, and is now back home in Devon awaiting his big reveal later this year. I'd like to thank Torre Abbey for sponsoring my design and I'd also like Torbay Clearance Services for such a smooth & friendly delivery service.
I have recently found out that I will be having three more sculptures heading my way to be decorated; two moths & a pig. The moths will be part of the Amy Johnson Festival taking place in Hull this year.
"2016 is the 75th anniversary of the death of Amy Johnson, Hull's flying heroine. Born in Hull in 1903, Amy Johnson CBE was one of the most influential and inspirational women of the twentieth century. She was the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia and set a string of other records throughout her career."
The brief for this project really appealed to me for many reasons, not only do I love the design from this era but I also have an interest in science & engineering (the work I did for my illustration degree show was all based on scientific themes). My two designs are very different. I have taken inspiration from Art Deco design, particularly lighting and furniture for one. I will be using pearlescent paints and gold leaf to create a rich, opulent effect. The second design is a contemporary take on travel posters from the 1930s, using bright colours & geometric shapes to produce a simple, bold design.
The pig I will be painting will be part of the Pigs Gone Wild sculpture trail coming to Ipswich this summer.
"St Elizabeth Hospice has teamed up with Wild in Art to stage Suffolk's biggest ever mass-participation, public art event – Pigs Gone Wild. The interactive sculpture trail will feature more than 40 pigs across Ipswich and beyond. During summer 2016 you will be able to follow the trail, collect points with our Pigs Gone Wild app and to try to see as many of the sculptures as possible."
My pig design was my favourite submission so I am thrilled that it's been sponsored and I will have the opportunity to realise it. I can't say too much about the theme at this stage as it's all very top secret. However the idea came to me on the Harwich Hoek ferry back in October and ties in with my dutch connections.
I have a busy few weeks ahead. It's going to be a bit of a squeeze in my garage, but I'm really looking forward to getting started on these. Watch this space for updates on progress.

What could be better at the end of the day than a couple of vodka shots followed by mouthwatering pickles, then a relaxed stroll along the city's streets (or a panoramic city tour) and a refreshing private canal boat tour!
Try 3 different kinds of vodka followed by typical after-vodka snacks, learn the history of this so-very-Russian beverage at the unique museum of Russian Vodka! Learn to know the difference between the kinds of vodka. Learn to drink vodka the way the Russians do it!
By day or by night, the most spectacular view of St. Petersburg can be seen from the water. The unforgettable panoramas of the Hermitage, squares and enbankments. A city was built over 42 islands, so St. Petersburg is surrounded by water and interlaced with a complex web of rivers and canals that seem to bind the city together, while also marking the borders of its different districts and neighborhoods. The slow ride by Nikolsky cathedral belltower, or throught the tunnels of the wide bridges, or under the glass walkway of Mariinsky theater, where the light is barely seen on the other side is an experience you'll never forget. St. Petersburg's architecture means that great vistas of the city are often visible from the water, and therefore an essential part of any exploration of the city is to get out in a boat and cruise the rivers and canals of St. Petersburg.
See as many highlights as one can possibly cover within a short period of time: Aurora cruiser, the first house of St. Petersburg, Nevsky Prospect, numerous rivers and bridges, Kazan Cathedral, Admiralty, Palace Square and the Hermitage museum, the Bronze Horseman monument to Peter the Great, Palace Bridge, St. Nicholas Cathedral, University Embankment with its historical buildings: Kunstkammer, the Academy of Sciences, and St. Petersburg State University, Menshikov Palace, the Square of Arts with Michael's Palace, the Mosque, the Smolny Convent, the Taurida Palace, the Foundry Prospect with the "Big House" (the KGB headquarters) and many more!Please note that depending on the time allowed, not all sights might be included!
